Chapter 513 Ask Zhu Bin to Borrow Money
Chiang Kai-shek is only in his early fifties this year. He is the lord of a country. He is either from Xiaotangshan or Lushan all day long. He is a Fengshui treasure land. He pays great attention to maintenance. He is surrounded by a lot of national players. Generally, he will not be tired if he is like this. There is no other reason and he is worried.
But he would never lose his composure in front of the little people, and even smiled gently and nodded to the adjutant: "Go back and tell Lieutenant General Ouyang that I know his loyalty to the party and the country, and I will not treat meritorious ministers."
The adjutant was so moved that he almost cried bitterly on the spot. After saluting solemnly, he left with trembling all over. Deng Wenyi was used to this scene, and the corner of his mouth raised slightly to send him away. When he turned around, he found that Lao Jiang changed his expression to a cold expression, spread his fingers and held Ouyang Ge's large stack of letter papers, and issued orders in a stern manner: "Tell Dai Li, ask him to send someone to check Ouyang Ge's recent behavior. Then invite Minister Song, I have something to tell him!"
Deng Wenyi rarely saw that Jiang Jiang changed his face so quickly. He was gentle a minute ago and turned around and asked Dai Li to check it out. The contrast was too big, right? For a moment, a thrilling thrill of "accompanying the king is like a tiger" straightened from the tailbone and rushed to the back spine. He quickly agreed to make arrangements.
Needless to say, Dai Li has been in the face of the establishment of the "Military Control Commission" this year, his power has risen sharply. After several months of operation, he has extended his tentacles across the country. The reputation of "Director Dai" is already very shocking in private. He was relied on by the chairman as his right-hand man and was the first mafia to do secret activities. He sent him to take action, Ouyang Ge's prospects are not optimistic. I just don't know what this guy wrote in the letter, which made the chairman so angry.
When Song Ziwen received the notice, he was confused. After being forced by Chiang Kai-shek to continue as Minister of Finance, he was busy discussing loans with various countries and was in a hurry to attract him. It seemed that it was not a good thing!
But then I thought about it, my brother-in-law, who is the number one in Tianzi, never seemed to have any good things for him, and threw all the troublesome things over. But I snatched the tax police team that I had worked hard to create, and the Qing Gang hooligan never changed his temper.
Song Ziwen was determined to give up, but he couldn't resist the advice of the first lady's sister. He was really worried about the behavior of his eldest brother-in-law Kong Xiangxi's family, so he had to bite the bullet and take it over.
This time, I don’t know what to do.
Jiang did not talk to him for too long. After giving the mission in an unquestionable tone, he sent a special plane to send him directly to Qingdao. After taking the Wanwan Railway to Guangming City, he met Zhu Bin very smoothly.
But as soon as he spoke, Zhu Bin's face immediately turned as long as he pulled his horse. He looked up and down with a sarcastic look. Zhu Bin hummed unhappily: "Don't Minister Song think that your request is too much?"
Song Ziwen showed him all over. He was so kind that he tried hard to make himself look more graceful and generous, and sighed helplessly: "The state is really difficult, and the Chairman has no other choice. The conditions for borrowing from various countries are too harsh. At this critical moment, Boss Zhu will take more responsibility."
With his status, it is rare to make such a low attitude, but Zhu Bin does not take this trick and shakes his head firmly: "Don't be so polite. I can't afford it either! A country's finance minister asks a chief of staff to borrow money. If it is spread, the great powers must not laugh out loud!"
Song Ziwen almost shouted: "Do you think I'm happy! Isn't this a forced effort?!"
The task that Jiang Jiang gave him was so painful to ask Zhu Bin to borrow money! It costs another one billion! When he first heard it, Song Ziwen almost left on the spot. The member and elder had to be so scheming and arranged Mrs. Song aside to sit in front of him early and analyzed and comforted him from various angles. He was helpless and bit the bullet. Zhu Bin's attitude was expected.
Zhu Bin was really angry. He never expected that Jiang Jiang would be so thick-skinned. This move was so fresh that so many old foxes in the think tank didn't make any plans.
Looking at Song Ziwen's gentle face, he gritted his teeth and stopped not slapping at the face that was not much above the government. He pointed and scolded: "It's not that I, Zhu Hanchen, have no patriotism, Minister Song, think about it yourself. Last year, you started a war with Japan. If you didn't say hello, you depreciate the legal currency by one third at once, and even issued a large amount of additional issuances, forcing various companies in the industry and business circles to show off their national debts. In order to stabilize prices and the economy, I lost billions inside and outside. Is this right?"
Song Ziwen was ashamed. The one who did this was not authentic. It was because Chiang Kai-shek and his group had been conspiring for a long time to join forces to cheat Zhu Bin. Taking advantage of the outbreak of the war, prices were rising and they actively depreciated and issued additional issuances, and they were desperate to make money. The unlucky ones were the people and Zhu Bin, who rely on physical industries, real money and other general equivalents to support them.
Zhu Bin and others did not have the credibility of a country to guarantee that they could not send out currency indiscriminately, so the green tickets issued could not depreciate quickly. On the surface, they suffered a big loss and were crazily run by the panicked people for a long time, losing as much as 300 million taels of silver.
If this was placed in the four major banks of the Guofu, it would go bankrupt directly. Fortunately, Zhu Bin's family was a big business, and the silver accumulated over the years was 10,000 tons, except for industrial use, the rest could be used as a ship to hold back. After resistant to the initial impact, the concept of preserving the value of the green tickets he issued began to be deeply rooted in the hearts of the people. In addition, his army sang triumphantly in various ways, won consecutive victories, and credit was established. The people who used their green tickets quickly surpassed the fiat currency of the Guofu.
The benefits of becoming a country's credit currency needless to say, and directly controls the lifeblood of the economy. In contrast, it is not so easy for the government, which made the first fortune, to make another move. The people, especially the industry, commerce and finance industries that hold major currencies and users, know who to choose.
Now, Song Ziwen and the others came to their senses and found that something was wrong was too late. They regretted giving Zhu Bin the currency printing rights. If they wanted to take it back, they had to start a war and destroy it directly. The whole world would not agree!
Song Ziwen probably thought of this, but he was so angry that he came up with such a trick. Even though he knew that Zhu Bin had made a big profit inside and outside, he could not make any decisions. He took the huge risks and reached this point today. Could it be that if he let others take the initiative to give up control? How is it possible!
He gritted his teeth and agreed without shame, and Zhu Bin then scolded: "From the Pingjin War last year to the war with the Joint Fleet this year, I filled in nearly one billion military expenditure inside and outside, and directly lost 400 billion. I didn't ask the central government for a penny. Is this fun to use my own money to fight for the country, right?"
Is there so much? Song Ziwen complained in his heart. But he couldn't figure out the account, how much it would be lost or how much it would be spent. Only Zhu Bin himself knew the specific number. He said that the loss of a battleship would cost 300 million to 400 million, so he had to grit his teeth and carry it!
"Also! The navy reintegration. The construction fee for the four major fleets is at least 100 billion, but the budget for the four new "Kunlun-class" battleships to be built is as high as 1.5 billion, and the total amount of ships is at least 3 billion. How much does the central government plan to bear this money?"
Song Ziwen's cheeks twitched. Looking at Zhu Bin's majestic body leaning forward slightly and maintaining a strong posture, he felt a little breathless, but he wanted to punch his big, angular face a few times.
This guy is so annoying! He is just making a profit and behaves like a good person! After the reorganization of the Central Navy, almost all the Navy Department became your territory, and he almost made a land to compete with the National Government. What else do you want? The four major fleets after completion are sure to follow the command and not the announcement. Are you embarrassed to ask the Central Committee for money?! It's so shameless!
However, isn’t shamelessness the true nature of warlords? Since Zhu Bin plays such a role, it is normal for this to be like this.
Before Song Ziwen came, he knew nonsense, and he didn't bother him. He spread his hands and said, "You know all the central government and I also appreciate your great achievements. But it's a critical moment. You can't watch the central government's finances completely collapse, which will cause the national economy to suffer major trauma, right? We finally squeezed out the black hand that was divided and controlled by the great powers, and we can't waste all our efforts!"
Zhu Bin also admitted that this is the truth. If the war spreads in China, then there will be excuses for fiat currency to continue to issue additional issuances and depreciate to make trouble. Whether it is the central government, the Jiangsu and Zhejiang Consortium, it is not necessary to say that the four major families make a big fortune in the national crisis. But the Japanese have abruptly stopped when their confidence is insufficient, and they dare not continue to do it, otherwise they will definitely suffer.
But the problem is that the debts owed always have to be paid back. The whole war mobilization requires countless funds and resources. The central government is in a tight position and has to prevent Zhu Bin's green ticket from being completely converted into legal tender. Then the various resources originally controlled by the central government are far from enough. If this continues, it will definitely go bankrupt!
As for a good time for a country's financial bankruptcy, the bloodthirsty powers will definitely not let go. Zhu Bin alone can't rob the countless compradors who are suitable for external cooperation! At that time, his opponent will be replaced by old pirates all over the world, and the trouble will be great!
After grabbing the short buzz hair like a steel needle, Zhu Bin smacked his lips and sighed helplessly, slapped his thighs and said, "Okay! Who made me so patriotic? That is, you, Minister Song, come, it won't work if someone else says it."
Song Ziwen breathed a sigh of relief. It would be great that this kid was willing to open his mouth! As for Zhu Bin shamelessly putting gilds on his face, he just pretended that he didn't hear it.
"But...," Zhu Bin pondered, and then lost his mind. "One billion is too much. I can't take it out at all now. Five billion can still be raised. In addition, my money is not caused by the strong wind. Even if the central government borrows money, do you have to have some pledge guarantee?"
Just give money! Five hundred million is not a lot. What the central government wants is not paper money, but real money!
Song Ziwen nodded without hesitation: "If you raise the conditions, the central government will not let you suffer any losses."
Zhu Bin was not polite, and he pulled a detailed map of the national mineral resources distribution that almost made Song Ziwen blind. He poked his fingers with several places in Jiangxi, Guangdong and Hunan: "There are a few mines here, and the raw materials needed by our industry, so use them as pledge. In addition, the Central Army has to use ours first for purchasing equipment and materials. Is it okay?"
Song Ziwen looked at his tiger eyes with a cold light, and somehow felt that it was very inappropriate, but he couldn't figure out what the problem was. He was afraid that he would regret it, so he immediately decided: "Just do it!"
Zhu Bin smiled and laughed: "I like a cheerful person like Minister Song. After the business talks are over, let's go, I'll invite you to fish!" (To be continued...)
